Offer Description

UiT The Arctic University of Norway has established «The Arctic MSCA-PF program» (uit.no/project/arcticmsca ) to recruit excellent young researchers planning to apply for a Marie Skƚodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) to pursue a career in research. We invite applications from promising young researchers within the field of Organic and Medicinal Chemistry and synthesis. The selected candidate will write a proposal for a 24-month MSCA-PF at UiT together with Professor Annette Bayer. This is an opportunity to accelerate your research career while living in the urban research city of Tromsø, uniquely located at the top of the world surrounded by some of Europe’s last pristine wild nature.

This call is one of 70 from pre-selected supervisors at UiT The Arctic University of Norway through the “Arctic MSCA-PF program”. Successful postdoc candidates will be invited for a three-day MSCA-PF symposium June 4-6, 2024 (hybrid physical/digital event, see details at uit.no/project/arcticmsca/program-structure ). At this event, the candidates will present their past research achievements, discuss future plans with their potential supervisor and learn how to write a successful MSCA-PF application. The selected candidates will, jointly with the supervisor, write the MSCA-PF application by the deadline of September 11, 2024.

In this call we search for talented, young researchers within the field of Organic and Medicinal Chemistry and synthesis as presented by Professor Bayer :

Antibiotic resistance against b-lactam antibiotics is an increasing threat against human health and modern life. Our group aims contribute to the fight against extreme antibiotic resistance by developing new antibiotics from natural products and inhibitors of resistance mechanisms. Metallo-beta-lactamase inhibition is one such strategy. Here, we are looking for a Postdoc interested to contribute to the development of new strategies for metallo-beta-lactamase inhibition. The group is at the moment focusing on prodrug strategies using thiol-based inhibitors.  

Please send your CV (max 3 pages) and describe a research project that will strengthen and complement the presented research (max 2 pages) to [email protected]  by Feb 16th 2024. Mark your application “Arctic MSCA”. Successful candidates will be contacted in late March 2024.
